The outcome of this visit provided Samoan players a pathway in a tested system to potentially reach the NRL from the Pacific region and to provide education through the successful Tackle Bullying and Dream Believe Achieve programs.

Both Viali and Lemisio spent six-weeks undergoing training programs alongisde the full-time first-grade training squad as well the National Youth Competition team squad.

Additionally, both athletes took part in several community programs as part of the Dragons Community team.

The Dragons have a strong connection with Samoan Rugby League with Toa Samoa internationals Leeson Ah Mau and Peter Mata’utia both presently playing their trade with the Red V.
